I just converted all our forms to use the reCAPTCHA software. About 60 million CAPTCHAs are solved by humans around the world every day. In each case, roughly ten seconds each. That’s more than 150,000 hours of work each day. reCAPTCHA make positive use of this human effort by channeling the time spent solving CAPTCHAs online into “reading” books. Currently, reCAPTCHA are helping to digitize books from the Internet Archive and old editions of the New York Times.

What use will PIXPROFIT put these solved CAPTCHAs to? I am sure to ‘crack’ the purpose of websites that do use CAPTCHAs - in other words, to make computers behave as humans. Please do not support/promote this project in my understanding.
